I'm absolutely thrilled by the artwork. I would have preferred the power harness without those hideous shackless, but other than that I'm very pleased with how He-Man is portrayed, especially his long, flowing manes ... brilliant !!! I do prefer my Teela to be blond as well, but the curves are somewhat easing the pain

The artists too ? Darn, because of the released image I was under the impression that Ed Benes was going to draw them. He's they guy from Thundercats: The Return, on which he did marvellous job.

But indeed, it's disappointing that they kept Keith Giffen. Mike Costa did a much better job on the digital comics, in my honest opinion.

Im wrapped, so excited to see that the series is continuing beyond the mini series and for She-Ra to b in it is just outstanding and about time. I cant wait and hope we do get a spin off She-ra series!!!

I'm pretty excited about this; I've liked all the DC stuff so far and am eager to further explore their version if Eternia.

And if I hadn't been already, I would have just fallen in love with Teela.

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

I've thought that the mini-series has been decent. The story was good (as long as the alternate reality type thing doesn't continue), and I prefer Pop Mhan's art to Phillip Tan's. I don't like the re-designs, though. They need to go back to the style that's worked for the past thirty years. However, I will keep buying the comics until they stray too far from what MotU is and should be. Too bad Dynamite or IDW isn't doing MotU. Both those companies have done fantastic jobs with classic characters (Red Sonja, John Carter, Flash Gordon, Voltron, and others from D.E. and Transformers, The Rocketeer, TMNT, Popeye and others from IDW), and have stayed very true to the roots of those characters.

As a side note, I haven't read the digital comics, as I prefer reading the comics physically. Has anyone heard if they'll be offered in a TPB at some point?

I just read issue 5 and I loved it. The image of He-Man was so epic because it has been built up so much. I'm liking the new story and take on MOTU. It's not throwing the history out and not making a new universe but simply altering it. The tone is just right IMO. 30 years have passed and a new iteration is necessary for this property to stay relevant. Cannot wait for April.

...Yeah, no. I gave up on the miniseries after issue 2, and the mini comics at Trap Jaw (done better by someone else...). Got the Despara one, but couldn't stand Costa's "I have to make this gritty by killing someone" take on this universe AFTER his G.I.Joe work at IDW. MOTU gathered it's HUGE fan base in the 80's by being FUN. Barbarian fun, cartoony fun, sci-fi fun, you name it. I'm in my 30's and I still like fun. This world is not fun to me. For those of you who like it, I hope this series lasts and you get to enjoy it for a long time, but it's just not for me.
